In early 2023, OverDrive will finish the process of discontinuing their legacy app in favor of the reader-friendly Libby app.
Libby makes it easy to borrow e-books, audiobooks and magazines to read on your smartphone or tablet. With your library card and the app, you have access to OverDrive’s extensive digital collection.
Libby is compatible with all major computers and devices, iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets and Chromebooks. Through Libby, you can also send titles to your Kindle. All titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period and there are no late fees. Readers can download titles onto Libby for offline use.
